- Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes and Graft Incorporation Rate Assessed by CT Scan After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty With Glenoid Structural Bone Graft Reconstruction
Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) with structural bone graft has been described as a technique in addressing glenoid bony defects. Studies have demonstrated acceptable outcomes with structural autograft or allograft. However, most of these studies are relatively small and rarely evaluate bone graft incorporation with CT scan. The aim… Read more » - Hydrogen Peroxide May Reduce the Risk for Revision Surgery and Infection in Primary Shoulder Arthroplasty: Two-year Follow-up From a Prospective, Blinded, Controlled Trial
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the preoperative skin preparation for primary total shoulder arthroplasty is associated with a difference in patient-reported outcomes, risk for postoperative infection, and risk for revision surgery at a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Methods: This… Read more » - Variations in the Anatomic Morphology of the Scapular Spine and Implications on Fracture After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
Introduction: This study evaluates the role of anatomic scapular morphology in acromion and scapular spine fracture (SSAF) risk after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Methods: Twelve scapular measurements were captured based on pilot study data, including scapular width measurements at the acromion (Z1), middle of the scapular spine (Z2), and medial… Read more » - Does Reusable Instrumentation for Four-Anchor Rotator Cuff Repair Offer Decreased Waste Disposal Costs and Lower Waste-Related Carbon Emissions?
Introduction: Orthopaedic surgery is culpable, in part, for the excessive carbon emissions in health care partly due to the utilization of disposable instrumentation in most procedures, such as rotator cuff repair (RCR). To address growing concerns about hospital waste, some have considered replacing disposable instrumentation with reusable instrumentation. The purpose… Read more » - Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty to Treat Proximal Humerus Fracture Sequelae: A Review
While several proximal humerus fractures treated nonsurgically reach satisfactory outcomes, some become symptomatic malunions or nonunions with pain and dysfunction. When joint-preserving options such as malunion or nonunion repair are not optimal because of poor remaining bone stock or glenohumeral arthritis, shoulder arthroplasty is a good option. Because of the… Read more » - Complex Elbow Fracture-Dislocations: An Algorithmic Approach to Treatment
Elbow stability arises from a combination of bony congruity, static ligamentous and capsular restraints, and dynamic muscular activation. Elbow trauma can disrupt these static and dynamic stabilizers leading to predictable patterns of instability; these patterns are dependent on the mechanism of injury and a progressive failure of anatomic structures. An… Read more » - Evaluating The Effect of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair with Concomitant Subacromial Decompression on 2, 4, and 6 Year Reoperation Rates
Introduction: The risks and benefits of including an arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) are uncertain. Some studies suggest no difference in revision surgery rates, whereas others have found higher revision surgery rates associated with concomitant ASD. In this study, we compare mid-term revision surgery rates… Read more » - Treatment of Shoulder Osteoarthritis With Intact Rotator Cuff and Severe Glenoid Retroversion
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has developed an Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for Treatment of Shoulder Osteoarthritis with Intact Rotator Cuff and Severe Glenoid Retroversion. Evidence-based information, in conjunction with the clinical expertise of physicians, was used to develop the criteria to determine the appropriateness of various treatments of… Read more » - The Association between Race and Extended Length of Stay in Low-energy Proximal Humerus Fractures in Elderly Patients
Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are one of the most common fractures among patients aged 65 years and older, commonly due to low-energy mechanisms. It is essential to identify drivers of increased healthcare utilization in geriatric PHF patients and bring awareness to any disparities in care. Here, we identify factors… Read more » - “Trend” Statement Use in the Orthopaedic Literature
Introduction: For research to effectively guide clinical decision making, appropriate interpretation of data is paramount. The P-value is a useful tool for guiding the interpretation of data. However, despite its utility, the P-value is not without limitations. Of particular concern is the use of “trend statements” to describe non-statistically significant… Read more » - Planned Glenoid Implant Utilization: A Comparison of Preoperative Planning with and Without Computer-Assisted Navigation
Background: Preoperative planning for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is becoming increasingly common. While preoperative planning allows surgeons to determine individualized implant types, utilization of intraoperative navigation improves the accuracy of implant placement and may increase confidence in the preoperative plan. The purpose of… Read more » - Trends in the Adoption of Outpatient Joint Arthroplasties and Patient Risk: A Retrospective Analysis of 2019 to 2021 Medicare Claims Data
Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) have recently been shifting toward outpatient arthroplasty. This study aims to explore recent trends in outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures and examine whether patients with a higher comorbidity burden are undergoing outpatient arthroplasty. Methods: Medicare fee-for-service claims were screened for patients who underwent total… Read more »

Subtrochanteric femur fractures have a reputation as difficult orthopaedic injuries to treat.

Introduction: Although the 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) has been shown to be an independent predictor of complications after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), its predictive value has not been evaluated in the setting of hip fracture. We therefore assessed the utility of mFI-5 score as an independent predictor of… Read more » - The Iliopsoas: Anatomy, Clinical Evaluation, and Its Role in Hip Pain in the Athlete: A Scoping Review
